Suncorp is trialling AI agents in insurance claims

In plain words

Suncorp is testing agents on parts of the claims process, and a few of those steps are heading into production.

Still a trial: Several claim steps are moving from trial to everyday use.

How to do it yourself

Our suggested steps. The company didn't publish theirs.

  1. 1

    Write your claim checklist: required info, photos, policy limits, exclusions.

  2. 2

    Use Zapier to save every claim email and attachment to a Google Drive folder.

  3. 3

    Run each claim through ChatGPT with the prompt below.

  4. 4

    A staff member approves, edits or rejects the agent's triage.

  5. 5

    Track how often the triage was right; automate only the most reliable sub-step first.

The instructions to give the AI

Paste this into ChatGPT (the free plan is fine), swap the [brackets] for your details, and test it on a few real examples.

This is one part of the setup. It won't connect to your phone, inbox or other apps on its own; the steps above cover that.

Agent instructions (prompt)

You triage claims for [business]. Checklist and policy rules:
[paste]
For this claim: 1) extract claimant, date, incident and amount, 2) list missing info or photos, 3) check against limits and exclusions, 4) recommend: fast-track, needs info (draft the request email), or human review (why). Never decide payment yourself.
Claim:
[paste email + attachments]

[Highlighted] = replace with your own details before you run it.

What you should get back: "Claimant: J. Ruiz, 4 Mar, burst pipe, $3,200. Missing: photos, plumber invoice. Next: request both."
